Hiring people is by far the most important thing companies do.

New focus on tools for workforce productivity. These team-based communication tools are mobile-enabled and look like social networking platforms.

ERP and HCM move to the cloud, as the talent market reinvents itself. Bersin said he now sees the talent management components of larger core HCM platforms more as "team management" systems.

Continuous performance management has arrived. Employers are looking for CPM tools that adapt as people move between projects and teams; some of the leading products are built by game designers and are "easy to use, agile and data-driven," Bersin said.

Intelligent self-service, communications and employee experience tools are self-service platforms based on emerging technologies that use cognitive, conversational, intelligent systems that are similar to already widely used voice recognition software, Bersin noted.

HR departments are becoming digital and innovative. "Innovation is now coming from HR departments themselves," according to Bersin.

Let's watch how all these HR tech trends and Bersin-identified disruptions play out in 2018, as the HR tech market churns forward at a rapid pace.
